Among the many injury updates provided by Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney during his spring practice press conference Wednesday was one on starting offensive lineman Walker Parks.

Parks (lower body) was limited by injury to 123 offensive snaps over two games last season. He suffered a season-ending injury in the contest against Charleston Southern on Sept. 9.

Swinney said Parks is “doing really well” and the 6-foot-5, 310-pounder will hopefully be able to do individual work at some point in spring practice.

“Our hope for him is to hopefully get some type of individual,” Swinney said. “It might be the latter part of spring or whatever, but to really get him into maybe some indy type of stuff and get him back just moving around from that standpoint. But he’s tracking in a good spot.”

A redshirt senior (graduate), Parks is entering his fifth year at Clemson in 2024.

The former four-star prospect was an ESPN Freshman All-American as a reserve in 2020 who earned the starting right tackle role entering his sophomore year in 2021 and then transitioned to guard during fall camp in 2022, when he would go on to earn fourth-team All-ACC honors by Phil Steele.

Parks enters the 2024 season having played 2,107 career snaps over 39 games (28 starts).
